Considering I will be in the third trimester through the summer, chasing a toddler at the beach or going hiking just doesn’t sound so fun!
We are really looking forward to some relatives visiting for a few weeks. (I know it sounds kind of boring) The distance allows only for once a year visits, so I’m psyched about seeing everyone!

The thing i am looking forward to the most is enjoying the summer off with my children. I have a 9 yr old, a 7 yr old, and a new baby girl born April 10, 3013. When my older two were little i was workin alot and never got to take as much in as i am now and i am loving every minute of it. It will be awesome watching all of the babys firsts along with my other two children it means that much more to rxperience it with them. Lots of walks to the park, swimming, and arts and crafts will be happening and i am sooo excited! Spending this time with my family is soo priceless and completly worth the income cut in the house. Alot of parents arnt lucky eniugh to get to do this, and although our income now is literally just enough to survive on…we couldnt be a happier family! I hope all of you enjoy the summer as much as i will with my little miracles!!

I am most excited about getting to enjoy the summer sun with my little boy:) being a single mom is the hardest job out there but so rewarding. Im looking forward to having my weekends off and being able to travel with my son, let him meet all his family, and to take a special trip to the beach. He will be 5 months in June and just loves loves loves the water!

What am I looking forward to this summer? My second anniversary with my hubby and my pregnancy! I just got 3 positive tests and this will be my first ever pregnancy! I am looking forward to every single thing about this experience!

I am looking forward to actually spending time with my children. I have 2, 9 year old daughter and 4 month old son and I have always been a working mom but since my son was born I have had the privilege to stay home. So I actually looking forward to spending time with them at the park, water park, at home and just about anywhere.

I most look forward to spending the summer home with my baby who’s just 7 months old. As a stay at home mom, every day is a blessing to be with my child knowing daddy is working hard so we can be together! I hope we can have more quality time as a family, and enjoy so days at the pool :)

The thing I am most looking forward to is having my mom, sister and niece come up from Florida to enjoy the perfect Maine summer. To all be together with my little guys and watch cousins play in the sun : )

No vacation for us this year in the budget, which I’m actually looking forward to. Vacations are fun, but exhausting. So this summer, just me and my kiddos getting to relax and enjoy being together with no school or school related activities to worry about making time for.

The thing I’m looking foreward to most is to hopefully get back on track. The last year has been a rough one for my family. Everything from health problems to a few deaths in the family. So a nice summer of no emergencies or sadness is what we are hoping for!

I’m looking forward to spending time at the beach with my husband and our 15 month old. Praying he will crawl this summer:) He was early so he’s developmentally delayed and he’s making progress all of the time!:)

Seeing as June & July are my busiest months for work & that I’ll be entering my 3rd trimester with #2, oh & chasing my 15 month old around… I’m looking forward to August so I can just rest, garden & play with my son before baby #2 shows up in September!

I’m looking forward to tons of stuff! My son learning how to swim and my baby girl getting in the lake for the first time. Seeing baby girl grow and discover. Little man going to camp for the first time. Family time, walks to the park, trips to the lake….

I am most looking forward to being able to do more things with my daughter. She is 18 months old right now so I am making plans for her first trip to the zoo, the children’s museum, and enrolling her in classes so she can play with other toddlers. In the fall I’ll be returning to college and I’m due with my second baby in Dec. So I really just want to spend as much time with her now as I possibly can :)

We plan to spend as much time and make special memories before dad deploys. I have a 2 and 9 month old. Once he is gone we plan to be pretty active to help time fly ymca, pools, Library, and meeting new friends.

I’m most excited about going to the beach with my son for the first time and also getting him christened. This summer will contain a lot of firsts for us both. I’m a 21 yo single first time mom and I’m excited to spend a lot of time outside enjoying my son blossoming and growing.

I am most looking forward to being pregnant this summer. My previous pregnancies have been mostly winter time and finally this one is due in October. I love the summer heat! Everyone tries to make me feel as if this is a bad thing but I am stoked!!

This summer I am looking forward to spending some time with my husband and watching our precious baby bump grow with this being our first baby. Have plans to find out what we are having so we can start to decorate and regester for our little bundle of joy that is due in December. So excited!

I am looking forward to spending time with my husband and daughter outside and enjoyong nature. Layla will be turning two in August and we cannot wait to see her celebrate with more participation and understanding this year!

I’ll be visiting my oldest sister and my mom. I haven’t seen this sister in at least 20 years. She has recently retired from the Air Force and has settled in FL. Sharing the 4th of July holiday with her, my parents, and my husband (an Army officer) will be a holiday to remember indeed!

I’m looking forward to doing all kinds of fun, new things with my 2 1/2 year old son! He’s at the age where he can really appreciate a good time and it’s lots of fun watching him get excited about new things!

After being on bedrest last summer and our little girl arriving premature I am looking forward to enjoying quality, active time with my husband, little one and our 3 rescued Great Danes! We love hiking, biking, camping, and being out on the lake.

I am looking forward to spending quality with my family. Celebrating my son’s second birthday and my other son’s first birthday. Pool time, beach time, BBQ’s and all the fun activities that go along with summer!

I am looking forward to a fun filled summer before our daughter starts Kindergarten. She rear faced to three years old, and at almost, is still harnessed. We have an 8 month old now and planning to rear face him to three as well. Would LOVE to win this!!

I am looking forward to taking our son.camping! DH and I love camping, and that’s how he was conceived-when we went camping last year on Memorial Day weekend. So excited to share something we enjoyed so much as a couple with our son and start new traditions!

I am looking forward to spending time w/ my family being complete this summer. This is my husband’s first year not in the Army in 7 years & he was honorably medically discharged in Jan 2013 and is a disabled combat veteran. Our three kids are looking forward to Daddy being home all summer – not deployed every other year & not away doing training. We are looking forward to being around extended family some and maybe taking a vacation that I would love my son to be traveling in a diono carseat during.

This summer, I’m most looking forward to just spending quality time together as a family outside…playing in the backyard, dinners on the deck, family bike rides, walks on nature trails, running through the sprinkler, etc.

I’ve been a nanny to the same growing family for nearly 6 years. This fall the children will be in school fulltime and I will no longer be needed. While this breaks my heart, I know I will cherish every moment I get with them this summer… My husband and I have been battling infertility for 3 years and feel like we may finally be getting somewhere. I’m praying this summer will be bittersweet and I’ll find comfort in finally being pregnant, while saying goodbye to the babies I’ve been raising for 6 years.

I am most looking forward to moving and getting settled in our new house. Shortly after that we have our big family vacation to Kentucky which should be a very relaxing time after the busy time of moving.

This summer, I am looking forward to watching my two older boys playing their first season of t-ball. I’m excited to watch my daughter enjoy some time at the lake swimming and playing in the sand. And I’m nervous to leave my newborn to go back to work, because I don’t want to miss one smile or milestone, but I’m happy daddy will be with him to be my eyes while I’m gone. :)

I’m excited to take my son and stepchildren to their grandparents pool all summer break. And, I can’t wait to introduce my 6 month old baby into water and swim with him. I’m loving watching him grow up!!!

The thing I’m most looking forward to this summer is bringing our second daughter into the world! My husband is deploying soon, so hopefully she’ll make her arrival before he leaves so he can meet her=)

I am SO looking forward to watching my 4 little girls run (crawl) and play in the water. Whether that be at the lake, the splash pads, a pool, sprinkler, or a water park… they are so beautiful when they are sparkling with water drops, big giant smiles on their faces, and squeals of delight!!

this summer I am looking forward to all the beautiful adventures summer brings. Taking my kids to the Lake, Camping… this summer like every summer is one to treasure and enjoy LIfe is a Blessing! ~ariana

I am most looking forward to spending time with children. As a teacher, I spend a large portion of my time caring for other people’s children. During the summer, we can enjoy each other and aren’t restricted to a work schedule. I am grateful for this special time with my sweet boys!!!

We’ve had a rough start to the summer. My uterus ruptured while delivering my second son and then I ended up back in the hospital a few days later getting my gallbladder out. I’m looking forward to being healthy and enjoying maternity leave with my boys finally!

I am looking forward to spending time with my son of whom I have not spent time with since he was 9 months old. I am currently deployed and I looked forward to making up for lost time by going to the beach, hugging him, reading together–just everything!

I’m most excited for family gatherings this summer. We have a large family and my 19 month old daughter hasn’t even met 1/4 of it. I want her to meet as many as possible before we are stationed in germany

This summer I am most looking forward to giving birth to my baby girl and having her here with me and my husband. She is our first child and we have anxiously been awaiting her arrival especially after all the complications I’ve had.

I am looking forward to taking my daughter to all of the summer festivals, going swimming, bbq’s and celebrating her 2nd birthday in August! Last summer she didn’t start walking until after 1st birthday so it will be a lot more fun now that she’s mobile.

I’m most excited about all of the “first” memories my fiancé and I will be creating with our daughter.

We can’t wait to take her to the zoo for the first time, watch the 4th of July fireworks together for the first time, and walk along the beach with the sand and the ocean touching her tiny feet for the first time. This summer is going to be full of “firsts” and we can’t wait to be there for each and every one of them!

Seeing my sister for the 1st time in six years (military) and meeting my 5 year old nephew for the first time in person & giving them all a huge hug! She also has a 4 year old niece & a almost 7 mo old nephew (who would use this seat if we won) that she never has met

I just announced my pregnancy to my whole family yesterday so this summer I’m looking forward to watching my baby bump grow and being able to share the experience with my husband and family. This is our first child and our parents first grandchild. I’m also looking forward to warmer weather, BBQ, and being by the water :). Happy Memorial Day everyone!

Sharing everything with my 2 year old, it seems like it will be a ton of fun this year because she is now able to do so much. Hiking, swimming, beach, exploring. It’s all going to be fun. Also getting to know my 4 month old who is turning out to be an awesome little man.

I am looking forward to seeing more of my 3 oldest grandchildren now that school is out for the summer. I already keep the younger 3, ages 4 years, 9 months and 5 months most of the time but I miss seeing the older ones who are so busy with school and other activities.

The thing I am most looking forward to this summer is having Fridays off to spend with my kids. They are 2 and 4 and growing up way too fast. I have to work full-time but during the summer, we work 4 10 hour days so I get an extra day off with them and I love it!

I am.looking forward to actually.being able to take my girl outside. She is fi.ally healthy enough after 3 years that she can be out in the sun for more than 30 min. It’s gonna be a great summer for us

I am most looking forward to spending time with my husband! He works and goes to school full time and will get a small break between quarters- so we intend to spend that time as a family with our kids :) daddy works hard for us!

I’m looking forward to watching my little girl experience new things and seeing the wonder and delight on her face. I can’t wait to see what she thinks about fireworks and camping and everything else that comes with summer.

This is going to be a difficult summer bc my hubby is deploying, we are expecting our first baby and I will be moving into our first home by myself. But I am looking forward to many memories of my pregnancy. I am looking forward to finding out the gender of our little Roo and to visiting with friends and family to pass the time. :)

I am most looking forward to family reunions, where both my husband and my families get to meet our son for the first time. I am also looking forward to teaching my son how to swim and enjoying as much family time as possible :)

I’m looking forward to enjoying every day with my oldest son before he starts Kindergarten in the fall. Where do the years go? We’ll go to the lake, the zoo, the museum (he wants to see dinosaurs), hiking, and so much more.

My daughter just turned 3 months yesterday! I am looking forwarded to all the firsts she will have this summer such as swimming, hiking, seeing the mountains, maybe crawling, laughing, playing in the grass, and so much more! I can’t wait!!

I look forward to all the firsts with my 4 month old baby girl Eloise. Hoping to hear giggle soon. I look forward to family time with the hubby & maybe even attempting a camping trip. Being a mom makes everything new & an adventure!

I am the most excited to just enjoy the summer with my Husband basking in the warmth of the sun with our son, Finn, who’s due on the 1st of June but it’s beginning to look like he’ll be arriving much sooner than that, possibly even today!

I am so looking forward to visiting family down south and introducing many of them to my baby, who will be turning one on our vacation. I am so excited to make these memories with my family, who I live too far away from to see very often.

What I’m looking forward to the most this summer is all the firsts I’ll get to share with my beautiful baby girl Emma! I can’t wait to take her camping, fishing, to the mud bogs and much more! Watching her learn and discover new things is so amazing!

This summer, I am looking forward to camping out at the lake with my family and friends. I love instilling a love for all things nature with my little girl and seeing the excitement on her face when she experiences something new.

I’m looking forward to spending time with my boys and going fishing/boating, playing outside, watching them ride bikes and blow bubbles, and just enjoying every day with the 2 of them. They have a baby sister jointing them in October :)

I am looking forward to spending time outdoors with my 2 year old
We have already planted vegetable garden and a flower garden. She enjoys watering it (and getting muddy) daily with Mommy and Daddy. I am excited for her to learn to swim in Grandpa and GiGi’s pool.
I am also ready to travel home in August, some of my family hasn’t seen my 2 year old since she was 9months old!

I’m looking foward to taking our baby to my family reunion in July! My family reuion brings in 300+ people every year, and my son is one of 100+ great great grandchildren! We are a good irish catholic family to say the least! Our group comes in from all over the world for our reuion. I can’t wait for everyone to meet the newest member of our huge family!

I am hoping to be able to take a week off work and be able to take my 3 kids to see family in Idaho for my 2 youngest to my brother for the 1st time and my youngest to meet his great grandmother. A new Diono seat will be needed as my youngest may outgrow his infant carrier by then.

What an amazing giveaway! I am most looking forward to us being together as a family. My husband works 75% of the time away from home. We jut had a baby last summer and we’ve been making the best of our situation. It’s tough, but we are moving to be closer. This seat would be amazing!

This is my first pregnancy, so this summer I’m really looking forward to spending as much time at our cabin as possible and going on little road trips. And of course warm weather and sun! I’m not due until November so hopefully I’ll get to enjoy this summer!

Spending a week with our families. We are expecting our first child and being so far away from them during the pregnancy has been difficult. It will be great to finally have them be a part of what we are experiencing (face to face). We also know how difficult it will be to travel for a while right after we have the baby, so it will be wonderful to have such a long period of time with all of them.

I am really looking forward to having the nursery finished!! My husband and I have worked very hard on it and it seems like the end is in sight. Can’t wait to have it complete and have my baby boy in it!!!

My daughter just turned two. I have the summer off from school and I’m looking forward to playing with her and teaching her new things. I’ve been looking for new craft ideas and activities. She loves water so I’m looking forward to swimming with her and running around in the sprinkler or the rain if we happen to get any.

I look forward to getting my patio spruced up with new plants and mulch. Then I can put out the sandbox I got my son and watch him play anf have fun. I also look forward to watching him learn to ride his new balance bike.

I’m looking forward to settling in with our new baby girl and spending the summer growing into our brand new family of four. Other than a possible trip to a neighboring state to visit family, we don’t have any out-of-town plans, but that doesn’t mean we won’t be spontaneous if the opportunity arises. :-)

As we are expecting our third child on Friday, I’m looking forward a maternity leave in the summer (my other two were over the winter), and my husband being home the entire time this time! I’m hoping everyone is well enough that we can spend a lot of time outside and taking trips, and not stuck in the house. This Diono will be the perfect addition to what is lined up to be the perfect summer!

I’m so looking forward to having this threesome turn into a foursome this summer with baby boy number two! Also just being with my two year old and watching him enjoy all summer has to bring swimming, the beach,,just playing outside!

Can’t wait to go to the beach and BBQ with my parents and sisters. Now that I am prego I can not continue working in the Merchant Marine, a job I love but keeps ,e away from family for extended times. Not this summer though!

We’re moving to another state next month, so this summer I am most looking forward to watching my 2-year old daughter learn her new surroundings once we move, and getting to let her try new things and go new places and hopefully we can meet some other families with kiddos her age! Who doesn’t love play dates?! :)

We moved to a new house last year that had a pool and I had just had my son a month prior, so we were both unable to swim. I am looking forward to taking him swimming as soon as the water is warm enough!

This summer my third baby is due and cant wait to meet him or her. It is also a time to celebrate my daughter’s, husband’s birthdays and our anniversary! Spending time with family and camping is a great way to spend my summer!

I just had a baby in April, so this Summer, we are going to enjoy him everyday! In July, we are going to join my husband in Vegas on one of his business trips! Family from NJ will be visiting in August, so that will be lots of fun too! I hope parks, pools, and yoga will be in the mix too:)

What I am looking forward to this summer is simply spending time and having extra fun in the sun with my two handsome boys and their Daddy! BBQ’s, tank tops and flip flops, water fights, going to the beach and/or lake, camping excursions, outdoor adventures, road trips etc!

The thing that I (we) look forward to this summer is spending as much time outside w/ my family. And winning that car seat would be wicked helpful, seeing that we depend on car sharing! We would be able to go much further & explore new & exciting places!

This summer, I am looking forward toy first baby taking his first steps! He is 11 months old so I know it’s coming! I’m so excited to be able to take him to the beach and park and be a part of this next chapter in his life.

I am looking forward to all the firsts…
First time she touches the grass
First time at a slo pitch game with mom and dad
First time camping
First time swimming in the lake
First road trip
And many more

I’m looking forward to it being warm enough for skirts and dresses. Pants are uncomfortable on my pregnant tummy, and I’m already wearing skirts, but I’m cold, and don’t have any warm shoes to go with them.

I am looking forward to spending time with my girls. This is the first summer I am not working. We plan to do a lot of walking, biking, trips to the park, etc. We love these car seats and would love to have another one.

I’m looking forward to taking our oldest to the zoo and to dinosaur world. Our youngest will be turning 6 months soon and I’m looking forward to all the amazing things he’s going to be learning soon :)

I am looking forward to the summer because i will be on my 3rd Trimester and close to my Due Date of Oct 23rd. I have three kids right now and due with my 4th. She will be my last most likely. We will be going to the Pool, and the beach this summer as a family. We will be going to museums and doing a lot of Outdoor activities before the baby comes into the world. We are very excited this year for the summer!

I am looking forward to our daughters first summer.. i cant wait to take her in the pool with her big cousin. And for her to meet some of her family that live out of state and have not been able to see her.. i am so excited for her to experiance the feel of grass for the first time and touch flowers. I am just excited to share all the amazing things of summer..

A few firsts: Traveling to Boston for the first time, attending our first bris ceremony when a friend’s son is born, and hopefully having my grandma from Florida, who I am very close to, come see our home in North Carolina for the first time!

My son will be turning 1 in July! I’m looking forward to celebrating our first year together and to watching him continue to develop into a wonderful, beautiful, intelligent and happy little boy! We’re going hiking and boating this summer, and I can’t wait to see his little face light up at all the new experiences!

I took a new job working 12 hour shifts so I can have more time off with my kiddos this summer. Hope too take many exciting trips to Cedar Point, the Zoo, the lake, camping and visiting friends and family!

Eager to finish my final year teaching before becoming a mommy, then packing our bags for a babymoon to Italy! But most of all, I’m excited for summer dress season to accommodate my ever-expanding baby bump :)

We have two camping trips planned for this summer. That’s what I’m looking forward to the most! I love getting away from the house (away from all the electronics!) with the family so we can spend time being together and exploring new places.

I’m looking forward to so many things this summer! My sister’s having a baby, my brother in law is getting married, my little brother is coming home from overseas to visit, my other brother and his family are coming to visit… I’m looking forward to being with my kids all day every day (I work during the school year), going to the pool, visiting friends, and enjoying my time off work. :)

Since my husband and I are expecting our first child on 12/25/13, I am looking forward to enjoying my last summer in a bathing suit with no stretch marks and cellulite and big, perky boobs. We live in Las Vegas, the land of fake boobs and day club pool parties, so hanging out by the pool is a summer tradition. I enjoy having the extra large “ladies” to finally fill out my bikini tops.
We have our babymoon scheduled in two weeks in Hawaii so I have a whole week of rest and relaxation to look forward to before the baby arrives in the winter. We are so excited.

Beach Time! Start a weight loss program tomorrow – so looking forward to a thinner me! Trying for baby bump #2 and Sharing my Thirty-One products with the world, and 31 Conference in July! Lots to enjoy this summer!

Im looking forward to letting my identical twin sons walk barefoot in the grass, taste ice cream and soak in the sun(with sunscreen, of course). We dont get much of that in Seattle in the Winter. I can’t wait to take long road trips, enjoying lazy summer days and make family memories that will last a lifetime!

Enjoying all that summer offers…. farmers markets, walking on the beach, swimming, attending a carnival, eating ice cream, sitting in the hamuck under the oak trees, going on nature hikes, playing in the sprinklers, BBQing, reading books, making smores, watching parades, and of course listening to our toddlers laughter fill the warm summer days! I heart summer!

I’m excited for many things this summer. First my sons birthday is June 1st. Then at the end of June my family is taking a road trip from Tennessee to Michigan to see our relatives. And of course being free of the cold weather while sitting poolside is at the top of my list! :)

I’m most looking forward to lots of “firsts” with my infant son! first time at the lake, crawling, eating solid foods, playing in the dirt, etc. I’m a first time mom, so it’s all exciting for me too :)

I’ll be in my third trimester during summer so looking forward too:
– The baby shower.
– Receiving gifts and buying baby stuff.
– Working on the nursery.
– Meeting my baby at the turn of the season late september!! YAY!!!

My husband will be deploying at the end of summer (Marine Corps) and for his pre-deployment leave we are traveling up and down the east coast visiting all the National Parks, family, Niagra Falls, etc.. with our 19 month old son :) So I am super excited for that! We love adventures!

I am looking forward to meeting my daughter in a week or less! My husband and I are looking forward to watching her grow and develope and to spend as much time with our special little family as possible!

I’m looking to going to the beach with my 18 month old son now that they have reopened after hurricane sandy. And also spending time with all my new mommy friends from the library, ESP the ones I am training to run their first 5k in August!

I am looking forward to spending some time outside after a very long MN Winter. I want to take our 4 young kids to the local parks, beaches, and trail. I can’t wait to have some picnics outside again. Lastly, I can’t wait to meet my new niece who is due this Summer.

The thing I look forward to the MOST this summer is giving birth to baby #2! I’m due July 13th & would love to win this car seat so I can pass on our infant car seat to the newborn & give this one to my baby girl who just turned 1 yrs old this past month :)

What are you looking forward to most this summer?
Just enjoying weekends with my family, going to the pool, walks with our dogs. Watching my little 5 month old daughter start to be mobile and enjoying my 5 year old’s last summer before I have to send her to kindergarden. Being able to grill and sit out at night and enjoy the summers night air with my husband. A mini-vacation road trip at the end of July. I hope it doesn’t fly by too fast!

I’m looking forward to having my daughter out of school so we can spend some amazing bonding time with my new son, go on road trips, and we are moving in two weeks! We have plans to go to the zoo weekly, and state parks, and hopefully road trips to Wisconsin and North Dakota and possibly Michigan.

I’m looking forward to discovering the gender of our first child later this summer! My husband and I are also looking forward to surprising our friends and family when we tell them the news that we’re pregnant! :)

I am most looking forward to time spent with my first baby! He is such a good baby, and I know we will have a lot of fun swimming as a family, going to graduation parties and weddings together, and jetting off to a little vaca time with each other as well. I never knew joy as much as I do now with my husband and our baby boy!!

I am most looking forward to enjoying a refreshing glass on wine, out on the patio, in good company while the older kids play tirelessly in the yard and my precious girl dozes while swaying in her little swing.

I can’t wait to have my summer off so I can enjoy my baby boy. He is at the exploring age and I can’t wait to create memories with him on the farm. When I am at work it seems I miss so much. We are celebrating his first birthday this summer and I can’t wait to see him dig into his first piece of cake.

Get back to my beach~body LOL(now almost 2mos postpartum w just 10more lbs to lose)..I will be 3mos postpartum by June 11 so we can spend most ofsummer days w my baby, hubby & our 2boys at the beach or the pool.

I am looking forward to 4th of July weekend with my son and husband this year! We are an Army family and our unit is due home around then! It’ll be so nice to have all the guys back to celebrate with!!!

This summer I am most looking forward to getting outside and exercising in the sun, while we wait for baby to arrive in October. I am also looking forward to seeing family and friends that come to visit!

I am most looking forward to introducing my son Isaiah to the rest of the family. Hooray for road trips. This big boy has almost out grown his carrier seat so an upgrade would be very helpful. Hope we win.

I’m excited to sit at the pool and share pregnancy stories with one of my girlfriends, who is due 2.5 months before me! It’s exciting to be going through this with such a close friend, especially since it’s the first for both of us!
